Why can’t I upload my GIF to Tumblr? Or why when I upload to Tumblr is the GIF saved as a photo?

Stranger things have happened.. or have they? 🤔

Turns out our lovable friend Tumblr is quirky that way and allows you to post your GIF....

you just need to upload it as a "Photo"

Alternatively, if you downloaded your creation as an "MP4" you can upload it as "Video" instead

Heads up :

Tumblr doesn't support any GIFs over 1.75 MB and no more than 500 pixels. This is not a limitation set by MakeaGif.


 Here at MakeaGif we don’t believe in limitations, you’re a unique snowflake capable of anything! 

The sky’s the limit (while you may be a unique snowflake, that last part is not actually true)!
